Some good news, some bad news.
Good news:
My brother and my sister in law Rachel welcomed their 4th child at the end of August. Hope Lela, an absolutely precious baby girl, who looks just like her brother and sisters.
Sweet little Hope Lela
The Bad news:
We found out the same day that my dad had a brain tumor the size of a walnut. The suggested treatment was to take it out. The Dr. was 90/10 percent sure we would get my dad back. Meaning he would start remembering, talking, and acting how he was before the tumor got so big. The reality- it didn't happen. My dad has never regained his former self, and we were left with his shell. He will on occasion make a face, nod his head yes or no, but I will never be able to have a two way conversation with him again. Completely devastating.
He does seem to know who everyone is, and seems to enjoy company for the most part. He's currently at a care center in Vernal Utah.
